Re: Shrunken66Stroker's build thread.
I started the passenger fender today but didn't have time to finish. This is actually easier than I thought. The 2" piece that I cut out above the wheel in the center will fit into the bottom of the fender in the front. The roll under of the lip almost matches perfectly. All that's left is to fill in the rectangular hole.

Re: Shrunken66Stroker's build thread.
Ive been waiting to see you do this ever since your other thread. that works out great for that bottom lip. Love the way it looks, way better than moving the wheels forward.

Re: Shrunken66Stroker's build thread.
Thanks guys. I take a full side view tonight for you Frizzle. I got the patch all tacked. If you do this take it slow. As soon as you start cutting the fender you relieve stress in the metal and it wants to flatten out. I tacked from top to bottom and used a hammer and dolly to make sure kept the contour of the fender.

Re: Shrunken66Stroker's build thread.
Then I had to see what the bumper would look like so I cut 1 1/4" out to tighten it up. It looks like I'll have to extend the ends of the bumper about 2" to get them where I want. I may have to take a little material out of the middle of the top because it's tight to the grill support. It would go a little better with the lines of it as well.

Re: Shrunken66Stroker's build thread.
The top bumper line was bugging me so I cut it to match the grill support. Here's a profile view for you, Frizzle. The wheel is still a bit back from the center of the wheel well but it makes a huge difference. Once it's done I'll take a real camera out and get some good pics. I love it... now for the other side.

Re: Shrunken66Stroker's build thread.
i think that looks great! i think its funny that i have been thinking these very samethings that you have done, the bumper moved in and closing the front fender gap! but i have been to lazy to try any of them! that an i had feared that if i messed up i would be $h!! out of luck, you have skills for sure and diff. showed me that it can be done!!

Re: Shrunken66Stroker's build thread.
Wheelhouse & bumper ... done very nicely. Such a slight change but one that'll make the opening much more pleasing to the eye. Chev II's were like this too.

Re: Shrunken66Stroker's build thread.
Definitely an improvement. That lip relocation worked out well. I've done the bumper tuck like that but not the re-arch. Nice touch! Looking forward to seeing it further along and with the hood on to get the full effect.

Re: Shrunken66Stroker's build thread.
I've had some time lately so I've been hitting it hard. It's been 113 degrees the last three days and brutal to work in. What can you do when it's that hot? Go buy stuff. I payed a visit to Tuckers Trucks today and got a wiring harness. There were a couple sitting out front too. 60 Panel and 5-6-7 GMC stepper.

Awesome ideas and craftsmanship. Ordering parts in the AC beats working in a hot shop.
